Accident investigator resigns after inquiry into his messy car

CORAL SPRINGS — A traffic accident investigator for the city's police department has resigned after the department launched a formal inquiry into his messy car.

After Corey Lieb, 42, reported that his car needed repair work, officials said they discovered the car was in "extreme disarray."

They found 25 parking tickets issued in 2008 and 2009 that had never been turned in to the county, 21 tow slips that had never been turned in to officials, as well as crumbs, dried soda and paper strewn about.

Lieb had received a counseling form in October 2010 for failing to keep his car clean, according to Internal Affairs records.
